Engine juddering at approx 2000rpm
Posted: Mon Oct 26, 2015 12:20 pm
Hi guys
I'm new to these forums and lacking in anything other than basic car knowledge, so hoping you guys could help me out.
I have a 2002 Polo 1.9 TDI, and for the last 2 months - after around 20 minutes in to a journey - my engine has started to judder pretty aggressively when I'm accelerating at approx 2000rpm (this happens at low and high speeds). The whole car shakes, and there seems to be resistance on the pedal when accelerating, making the car lurch forward as the car's accelerating, although there hasn't been any loss of power and I am still able to get to speeds of 70/80mph. (although the resistance does seem to prevent overtaking suddenly). When I ease off the acceleration pedal, the juddering calms, however it is still there.
Rev counter and speedometer both look fine, with no hesitation in the rev counter. No sign of smoke. There is currently no engine light coming on and there are no fault codes coming up on the diagnostic scanner.
When I come to a stop, the engine is shaking all over the place and chugging away. The problem usually goes away/resets after I restart the car but can sometimes reappear with in a minute.
My garage gave me some Turbo and injector cleaner and neither seem to have solved the problem. The car was serviced around 7 months ago. I've driven over over 1000 miles since it happened and would like to get this fixed asap. With the garage not finding anything on the diagnostics, what is the best route to go down next?
Think that's everything to mention!
Thanks in advance!
